Node.js-LAN-File-Sharing

A small Node.js app designed for sharing files while on the same network. Especially useful when you are trying to get a file from a friend and their device has a single Type-C port used for charging. (by barissenkal)

Is it possible to build a file sharing (only for local networks) web app using WebRTC?

WebRTC might be much, since you need to build a server to handle the client matching and given its local network you could probably just use something like LAN.js or a similar project LAN.js https://nutbread.github.io/lan/ Node Lan File Sharing https://github.com/barissenkal/Node.js-LAN-File-Sharing

I think that’s an amazing idea. I tried with https://github.com/pion/offline-browser-communication but it requires standards improvements
If you are interested I would love to work together! Join the Pion slack and would love to brainstorm

Yes that is (almost) possible!

If the W3C accepted this as a valid use case it could be available quickly.

Yes WebRTC does require a discovery mechanism. That is where WHIP/Signaling comes into play.
I have a chapter on signaling here https://webrtcforthecurious.com/docs/02-signaling/
I have an example of WebRTC without signaling https://github.com/pion/offline-browser-communication. Each side has to agree on things ahead of time. Useful for security cameras/IoT/LAN stuff though!

I made offline-browser-communication to show how it could be done. It connects two peers without a signaling server and is portable between networks.
